What to expect:

Arrive at 8:30am at Metro Relief. We make soup and drinks, load up socks, hygiene items, clothes, and supplies. Pack up the bus. Circle up for briefing and prayer. We leave at 9:00am to arrive by 9:45pm to Sunlight Missionary Baptist Church. Once there, from the back half of the bus we pass out soup, drinks, snacks and any food items that were brought. On the front of the bus we set clothes, socks, and hygiene products onto the seats in an orderly fashion, and invite our guests to come up onto the bus one at a time to choose a few of these items and to get prayed for. We make ourselves available for conversation and prayer with the people there. We sometimes offer free haircuts, and always bring a football or frisbee to play a game or two with the kids in the neighborhood. While there, Serenity Church has partnered with us to provide a 30 minute church service centered on Christ and recovery. Volunteers are more than welcome to help the church out in any way they can. We also have a small team that goes out to the car washes and bus stops in the neighborhood where we pass out flyers, snacks, and a drink, and we invite people from these locations to come to the bus. We clean and pack up around 12:15pm to be back at Metro Relief no later than 1:00pm. We unload the bus, clean the bus, put away supplies, and clean soup and drink containers.
